A most interesting paper by Rev. Prof
Angus Crawford, entitled "a Lost Empire
Restored" gives the wonders OF the Kheta
or llittites or the Bible. The sacred book
alludes but casually and briefly to this
great nation; monumental aud other In
scriptlons, recently deciphered, reveal
many important historical facts which
food with light the dark places.
Some Right Uses Of the Doctrine Of In
tention"-taktng the theological meaning
of "intention" namely, the aim with which
priest performs priestly act-is an arti-
shinn, ID. ID. "a History Of the Papacy
During the Reformation" by j. g. Hall
jr., will attract all classes OF readers. Its
exhibit OF the amazing corruptons OF the
time, though well supported, seems almost
incredible to the enlightenment In which
we at present are favored to live.
"The Organization OF the Early Christian
Churches" an elaborate review OF Edwin
Hatch's work, by Rev. g. X. Nelson,
proves emlnently satisfactory. He decares
IA more dangerous book to what is con
ceived TO be by most Of us divinely orga-
nized church government never came from
the press"
Two contributions on "Contemporary
Literature," English and German, appear,
and are deeply instructive.
Weare favored with an additional chap
ter, each, Of the "I.ife, Times, and Core
spopdence of Bishop White, First Bishop
OF Pennsylvania" and "The First Bishop
Of Nova Scotia.n Both, beside the church
story, furnish us with curious glimpses OF
the general condition Of our own country
during Its revolutionary struggle.
1.-THE Law Of the Church In the United
States" is also further elucidated by chap.

HE GIRLS BOOK OF FAMOUS QUEENS.
By LYDIA HoYT FARMER. author of "The
Boys Book of Famous Rulers" &c. New
Place. Publishers.
We ardently recommend every lass In the
land to shave and to hold" this beautiful
and beautifully illustrated volume. Should
all OF them comply with our suggestion,
all OF them will be exquisitely gratined,
and so will be the accomplished authorcss
and the obliging publishers.
From Semiramis to Victoria, the former
associated with Ninevehs glory and the
building Of the mighty city OF Babylon, the
latter with stupendous London and the
superior renown of the present day,
throughout the radiant line OF
celebrated queens, recording the
romantic and grand events OF their lives
and reigns, and presenting u portrait OF
each parsonage, the story flows oharmingly.
What need Of the fancies Of a novel when
facts so fascinating and instructive are
here abundant.
Men, also, or their pictorial representa-
tives, occasionally are seen. 1t is an old
truth that the masculine will intrude into
the lovely presence Of the feminine. These
rough figures, such as Henry VIII, William
l, Charles TX, Napoleon, and many
others, were mighty monarchs, conquerers,
and general benefactors OF mankind, as
their various eras oclaimed-though II
must he admitted that some Of the women
were as rude as they.
Nor is this the end. Numerous historical
scenes are engraved and described, numer-
Gus Views Of renowned places.
The style in writing is admirably adapted
to young readers, clear and ever alluriug.
Let us hear as soon as possible that every
one Of our dear girls possesses the book,
that she is happy in its perusal, and that,
from page to page, she is eomprehending
the old world, Of which before only vague
vision had visited her, and the new, In which
her own life Is placed.
